Amanda Bynes Is Being Applauded For Recognizing That She Needed Psychiatric Help And Taking The Necessary Steps To Get It Amid A “Psychotic Episode”,Amanda was walking around downtown Los Angeles without any clothes on when she flagged down a car and told the driver that she was coming down from a “psychotic episode," before calling 911 herself.
Amanda Bynes Is Being Applauded For Recognizing That She Needed Psychiatric Help And Taking The Necessary Steps To Get It Amid A “Psychotic Episode”
In 1996, 10-year-old Amanda Bynes shot to fame when she landed a role in the Nickelodeon series All That. The young star enjoyed such breakout success that she was awarded with her own self-titled spinoff, The Amanda Show, three years later.

Mark Sullivan / WireImageThis was granted in August 2013 and gave Amanda’s mom short-term control of her finances and personal affairs.
Steve Granitz / WireImageIn October 2014, Amanda sparked concern once again when she accused her dad of emotional and sexual abuse on Twitter.
Bauer-griffin / GC ImagesHer parents vehemently denied the claims, and Amanda later said that he had never abused her. She further worried followers when she went on to tweet: “The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he’s the one that ordered them to microchip me.”
TwitterAmanda’s initial conservatorship had come to an end by this point, but her mom became her conservator for a second time soon after. It was later announced that Amanda had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

A judge ultimately ruled in her favor, and tomorrow will mark exactly one year since Amanda’s conservatorship was lifted.

Bryan BedderAccording to the publication, Amanda was walking around downtown Los Angeles without any clothes on in the early hours of Sunday morning when she flagged down a car and told the driver that she was coming down from a “psychotic episode.”
Fred Prouser / ReutersThe star called 911 to ask for help herself, and a mental health team determined that she needed to be placed on a 5150 hold after she was taken to a nearby police station.
Fred Prouser / ReutersWhen the news broke, people were quick to share their sympathy for Amanda on social media, and it wasn’t long before the report had spread across the internet.
Raymond Hall / GC ImagesBut some of the language that was being used in sharing the story has since been called out, with many feeling that Amanda’s commendable and brave actions have been overlooked.

It has been argued that the initial TMZ story removes Amanda’s “agency,” which is something that should actually be applauded.
David Livingston / Getty Images“I have a lot of experience in mental health caregiving,” one person tweeted. “I loathe the way we’re talking about Amanda Bynes. She wasn’t ‘found.’ She actively sought help during a crisis and successfully got herself to safety by dialing 911. That’s hard and deserves our respect, not diminishment.”

In one quote-tweet, a user said: “Amanda recognized that she needed help. SHE was the one who made the 911 call to help herself. Please be mindful how you frame stories. Knowing that she understood she needed help and actively sought it is very important. Don’t take that away from her.”

Amanda is expected to remain in the hospital for several days in order to get the help that she needs.
